Just when everything is going beautifully for archaeologist Emma Fielding -- a position at a respected university, a beautiful home in New England, and the warm love of a devoted husband -- her world starts to crumble. What begins as a series of seemingly innocent gestures -- the anonymous delivery of gifts and flowers to Emma's family and friends -- soon progresses to secret, sadistic acts designed to destroy her reputation, her character, and her career.

Someone has instituted a brilliantly insidious campaign of personal terror against Emma Fielding, and she is certain she knows who it is: a cunning and dangerous enemy whom everyone but she believes is dead. But with no proof, no clues, and no allies, Emma will have to fight alone in the dark to rescue a life being rapidly reduced to ashes . . . if she can survive long enough to do so.

3.0 out of 5 starsI missed the archeology

As a fan of this series I was disappointed in this latest work, but it may be a question of unmet expectations. Usually the main character, Emma Fielding (an archeologist) solves a mystery based on work being done at some site, and the stories have been interestingly augmented by the author's knowledge of the discipline. This addition to the series is a real departure from that format. There's almost none of the archeology, and the plot is basically "I'm not paranoid, there really is someone out to kill me." And, even though I'd read the earlier works, I could not recall why the villain was supposedly after the main character anyway; the author could have done more to either fill in or remind readers of that part of the story line. The references are there, but I at least kept wondering about the motivation for such (apparent) hatred. I also found the description of the academic setting weak, but then I'm a tenured college professor, so it may just be me. I kept being surprised that a dean of something or other didn't show up when certain events transpired at the college, and I REALLY wondered how Emma was able to miss all those classes!!! I hope the next book, now that Nemesis has been laid to rest, will be closer to the earlier stories. It's a good read overall; I think it was just a let down because it was not what I expected based on the earlier works.

I don't often read a book twice, but I soon found myself totally engrossed in this sixth book of Dana Cameron's Emma Fielding series. Ms. Cameron has the ability to take a number of threads and weave them into a tale of intrigue. She covers enough of the previous stories so the reader is not completely lost if the book has been picked up out of sequence.

Dana Cameron's ASHES AND BONES steps away from field research to have Emma Fielding confront a man who should be dead.Tony Markham took the gold artifacts and sailed off into a hurricane. Everyone believes him dead, but he is haunting Emma's waking hours. Just when Emma has everything she has worked for all of her adult life a nightmare become real turning her hard won achievements into ashes.No one will believe her until things start getting rough. Plenty of tension building, but it borders on hysteria.A good read for fans of the series.Nash Black, author of WRITING AS A SMALL BUSINESS.

I like the character Emma Fielding and her exploits. I love archaeology anyway and adding a little mystery and a good team of workers with her exploits makes for a good read and this one is just as exciting and interesting as her other five. I like how she brings the archaeology finds and explains them at the times of the finds so you can follow her through out the book, you never get lost of the actual theme of the book along with all the unusal happenings that find her. Very good reading.

I love this author and have every one of her books. Started when she first published. She writes in the first person and uses only one or two bad words per book. Any violence is NOT descriptive and there is no sex descriptions. I think this book was the first one to even refer to sex. I look forward to many more.
